    People go overboard one way or the other about Lewis. But he is one of the greats.

    Why did you change the second paragraph of mine to make it look like I said something different? 

    If you're going to do that at least bold it or something.

    And yes, Lewis is one of the greats, agreed, but if I was picking one driver for a team I would pick Alonso in his prime over Lewis in his prime.

    Would be a very close call though.

    But when people get fed up and board that Lewis has been in a dominant car for what seems like forever, remember how rookie Hamilton slapped double world champ Alonso around at McLaren.

    I know we will have different opinions on this but I see it differently.

    I see Alonso coming in to a new team, where the cards were stacked against him in the 2nd half of the season and still not being beaten by Hamilton.

    I see Hamilton playing games at Hungary that year and Alonso playing them back but getting hammered by the British press.

    Best thing about that season was Raikkonen stealing the championship at the death by a point. Legend.

  3. Hoping for Fraudcedes to have an average year.

    Seriously, I would love Alonso and Vettel to be in the mix but it won't happen sadly.

    Failing that, at least a 6 way fight for the championship,  Verstappen/Hamilton/LeClerc/Russell/Sainz/Lando would do me, with strong support from Perez/Ricciardo.

    Also, sadly, won't happen.

    If Hamilton wipes the floor with George, then he'll have a claim to be the GOAT, if George outshines Hamilton then show's over I think. Even stevens between the two is my bet.

    I still think Alonso is the best driver on the grid, then Verstappen and Hamilton close behind.

    When you say your local garage I don't want to fall into the trap of assuming you live in Derby? If so can recommend a couple of garage in Nottingham which wouldn't be a million miles away if so.

    My local garage in Mickleover is booked til 17th, I work up by J28 M1 so am investigating that area as well.

  5. Peeps, my Mk3 Focus (1.0 Ecoboost) is having difficulty changing gear at low speeds.

    Clutch biting point is low

    There's no slipping when it is in gear.

    It's way more common on gears 1 and 2 but has started affecting the other gears occasionally as well.

    New clutch you think? Or a part of one?  My local garage is booked up until 17th March so could do with alternatives as well.

  6. It's a nonsense claim because on that last day it was either us or Wednesday who could stay up, not Wycombe.

    What would the league table look like if all our results for last season were removed? How about 18/19?

    Has anyone done this? I'd be curious to see it.

    So let me get this correct - one club can hold a complete stranglehold on another club if both clubs don’t agree on a solution because the governing body won’t have anything to do with resolving it - ultimate BS don’t you think? - so we can have an obvious claim against QPR under that then !

    Is there a time limit for claims mentioned under EFL rules or do they default to UK company rules?

    Seeing him now being portrayed as the villain by many who also drank Mel's kool-aid is pretty irksome too I'd imagine, he told you that you were cheating, he told you that Mel was a liar, and now he has been proven correct he still gets abuse.

    Just for clarity, specifically, cheating about what, lying about what? Correct about what precisely?
